This is a good time for "Yes... and no." It all depends on the type of organism.

In animals, which should be the both of us (If you are a human :) all cells are generally the same size. Of course, cells like nerve cells and muscle cells might not count in the reason that they can stretch to be relatively large or be the same size as other cells. For the most part, the same types of cells (i.e. bone cells, skin cells, blood vessel cells, eye cells) are the same size even in different animals. Small animals like bugs have the same size cells as larger animals like elephants or whales or birds.

Bacteria though, and other single celled organisms, have cells much smaller than animal cells. In fact, more bacteria cells are present in the human body than animal cells! So, the cells of single-celled organisms are much smaller than those of multi-celled organisms. In animals, small and large have about the same size cells.

What is one benefit to an organism of being large?

It takes less cells to do the job. If you cut yourself, then your body can send less cells to heal the wound compared to when the cells are smaller. You need more cells when you are smaller then when you have the larger cells.

Why would engulfing these smaller prokaryotic cells be an advantage to the larger prokaryotic cells?

Engulfing smaller prokaryotic cells would provide the larger prokaryotic cells with a potential source of nutrients and energy, aiding in their survival and growth. It also prevents competition for resources and reduces predation pressure on the larger prokaryotic cells.


What test can prove that bigger organisms have bigger cells?

The simplest test would involve comparing the size of cells in two different organisms of varying sizes under a microscope. This would involve calculating the average size of cells in each organism and comparing the results. If consistently larger cells are found in the larger organism, it would support the hypothesis that bigger organisms have bigger cells.
